I reckon Lode Runner is more of a platform game than a puzzle

Here's a great puzzle game:


Further good ones:
Dice Puzzle
Soko ban (yep great title)
Night Shift
Lights Out
Zoop (yes I like it too)

[Quizzical Artisan]

Lode Runner is categorized as an action-puzzle game on the packages.

In addition I could add Puzzle Bobble to the list.

[TurboGenesis]

some of the ones that have had me hooked…

Klax (Lynx, TG-16)
Lumines (PSP)
Tetris DS (NDS)
Tetris Attack (SNES)
Mr. Driller (NDS)
Meteos (NDS)
Columns (Genesis)
Ultimate Qix (Genesis)
Arkanoid (NES)

one thing I have learned that I enjoy puzzle game best on handhelds! I also have a few on my cellular phone:

180
Star*Burst (it's basically upside-down Klax)

[Smashed Brother]

Some of my all-time favs:

Meteos (NDS)
The Next Tetris (PS1/DC) - prefer the PS1 version because of the faster frame rate and ability to listen to your own music!
Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo/X (all versions are great)
Magical Drop 3 (Neo Geo)
Bust A Move 2 (PS1/Saturn, either or)
Tetris Attack (SNES)
Arkanoid (NES/Arcade)
Lumines Plus (PS2)
Chu Chu Rocket (DC) - I don't know if this counts or not...

And of course, this classic:

[theichibun]

Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo/X (all versions are great)

I came into this thread just to say this game. I've only played the PlayStation version but I love it.

It's actually been a bit of a problem lately because it's keeping me from my NES project.

Agreed, and to that add Mole Mania (GB), it feels a lot like the Adventures of Lolo series which were fantastic puzzlers on the NES.

tetrisphere, and bejeweled 3.

Lolo are fine games indeed!

and though it may be more action/puzzle? I love Chew-Man-Fu on the Turbo Grafx 16!

I thought of a few more that got LOTS of playtime from me.

Baku Baku on the Saturn got pleanty of playtime back in the day. You had to match animal heads to their food. Simple, charming and loads of fun!

Sega Swirl. This free Dreamcast demo disc puzzler was played non-stop between my friends and I back in 1999-2000. Even my friends Mom got addicted to it and when it was all said and done she consistently held the high score and instead of competing with each other we pulled together and tried to knock her high score... I don't remember if we ever succeeded.

I also have a fondness for the original Game Gear Columns. It's my favorite version of the game. It has great music, graphics and just enough game play options to keep things entertaining.

Awesome game and devilishly puzzling. My roommate blew an easy 45 minutes on an especially taxing level just the other day.

The Game Boy has been the go-to platform for good puzzlin' since the very beginning. Some other worthy ones on GB:

- Blodia (a blindspot to slider puzzles has this game proving too much for my simple mind)
- Dr. Mario (the limited colour really blows but otherwise it plays beautifully)
- Flipull (better on NES, but portability counts)
- Loopz (see above)
- Star Sweep
- Tetris Blast
- Yoshi's Cookie

...in my humble opinion, though, the very best are Columns (either the Genesis original or Crown on GBA) and Devil Dice/Bombastic. Devil Dice is just fantastic.

Here are some choices for the NES/PAL/Famicom, two of my all time favorites are Rodland and Don Doko Don:

Rodland for the NES and GameBoy.(PAL and Jap.) If you get the Jap. version(famicom), it is almost totally in english and about $150 cheaper than the PAL version. Plays like a cross between Bubble Bobble/Buster Bros.. You can make your own ladder appear to get away from the bad guys and to climb to higher levels. It is an excellent two player game, one of my favorites. Better than Bubble Bobble, a must own!

Don Doko Don for the Famicom(and TG16 & Arcade). It plays like a combination of Mr. Do's Castle and Bubble Bobble. Another great two player game and that is extremely fun. You play as two bearded dwarves who use mallets(big hammers) to smash enemies. Great game, a must own!

Door Door for the Famicom. Just got this little game and so far it's fun and it was cheap. Monsters chase you and you slam doors on them. Reminds me alittle like Mappy only slower.

Puzznic for NES. Fun game that uses gravity to help solve the puzzle. Plus it is cheap.

OK, I am gonna stretch my list to include a few games made by.......oh dear god...........SACHEN!!!
Actually, Sachen did make a few fun games and some worth owning. Here are the ones that are worth checking out: Happy Pairs(Shanghai type game), Magic Cubes (Like Junction on Genesis), Super Pang II (a two player Buster Bros. rip-off), Popo Team (Not sure how to explain this one, but it is fun), Jovial Race (Rally X rip-off).

I know the Sachen games are a stretch, but I believe a few coulda have been classics if they had the time to polish them up.

I just bought this the other day, it's pretty fun
